GO JULIE, GO JULIE, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY...
Posted to my WW buddies on GOAD



Well...it's not really my birthday (3 more weeks) but it sure felt like it last night!! :o) FOUR more pounds bites the dust!!

This is a 2 week loss...so I'm still right on target w/ a 2 lb per week loss! I love it!! (.6 away from 20 lbs)

My leader asked "what have you noticed being better now that you've lost 19.4 lbs" & I just said "I'm just so proud of myself!!" Which I am!! Most people say "my clothes fit better", etc... but I'm really not @ that noticing point yet, especially since I don't wear fitted clothes. (I DID invest in the first pair of jeans I've worn in NINE years a few weeks ago!! Love them! & they're not elastic waisted, so they will actually get baggy @ some point (rather than the black stretch leggings [with LONG flowing tops] I've worn since I was pregnant w/ my first son!) I need to take some new measurements (been a month) & some new pictures to see what the physical changes have been...but I really don't worry about that...I know those great changes will come! I'm just so excited!! (you certainly can't tell, can you?)

& you know how when you get all excited about a great WI & you want to go treat yourself to something indulgent (or maybe it's just because you've had your WI & the rest of the night just doesn't matter, so why not??) ....well...I don't get the inkling to do that type of thing anymore! (it was a ritual of mine since my first go-round w/ WW in the early 80's) I want to be good to myself now! I went to my favorite chinese restaurant & got my favorite wok-seered potstickers (4pts) & a chinese chicken salad (5.5 pts for a large yummy salad) & enjoy!! Then, I wanted to come home & go ride my bike!! (but I had to go shopping before & it was dark by the time I got home...shopping APs are the best, though! LOL!)

Anyways....thank you all so much for keeping me consistently revved up & excited about taking care of myself!!

xxoxoooo.....Julie ...oh my, sure wish I could open up a bit more... you all will never get to know me @ this rate! :o)
